LOL - that was funny. "Are you a crazy person?"

Hello Daryl_S,
Thanks for the reply.

See my answer above.

Buckstix the 416 Rigby with 450 grain projectiles is the limit of my recoil tolerance. May have to shove a recoil reducer into the butt. I like what has been done to help tame the recoil in your 577's.

Hello Rule303,
Thanks for the reply.

both of my .577 T-Rex rifles are more enjoyable to shoot than any of my seven 416
Rigby rifles loaded with 400g Factory ammo.

I couldn't stomach the awful A-Square stock "design". Some features redoubtably for taming recoil, and some simply terrible stockist skills. A-Square stocks like a 2x4 plank of wood in design. Those pistol grip 'designs' and forends. Some very heavy recoiling rifles are made with chunkier stocks of course.

Sorry buckstix, people like different things. JMO.

Great monster of a cartridge you have there.

You must be very enthusiastic to buy two of them. "Like a crazy person", ha ha. That was only a joke. I like that line from that movie. That clip has edited out, the few seconds where "V" contemplates the question.

I am going to look for the ballistics to add to the thread.

Hello NitroX,
Thanks for the reply.

If you read the chapter on Stock Design in Art Alphin's book; "Any Shot You Want" you will see the reasons behing the design of the "ugly" stock. As for me, When pulling the trigger on these Monster Guns, I'm not looking at the stock.

Also, A-Square did offer some custom options with more conventional looking stocks. like the one shown here on my A-Square 416 Hoffman. But the ugly "Coil-Check" stock, albeit clunky and ugly according to some, really tames recoil down to a much more tolerable level.
